With the Yankees back in Boston this weekend for a series that could pretty much officially bury them in the standings, perhaps y'all should check out this video of his "performance" last night in Toronto:

"As Rodriguez went behind third baseman Howie Clark, who had camped under the ball, he appeared to shout something toward Clark, causing him to back off the play. The ball fell in for a single, allowing a run to score and extending an inning that wound up breaking the game open for the Yankees.

"I said, 'Hah,' that's it," Rodriguez said. "I was almost past third base. I was surprised the ball bounced."

The Blue Jays didn't see it that way.

"I was under it and I heard a 'Mine' call, so I let it go," said Clark, who thought the call came from shortstop John McDonald. "This is my 16th season, granted most of them are in the minor leagues, but it's never happened once. It happened tonight."

Toronto manager John Gibbons came out of the dugout to argue. He and McDonald also barked at A-Rod, who was standing on third base.

"I told him it's bush league. That's what we do in Little League," Gibbons said. "The one thing that everybody in the game respects about the Yankees is that they play the game right, they play the game hard. That's what they're known for. They're a class operation.

"That was bush league; it's just not Yankee baseball, man."

Last time I checked, the Yankees holding a 22-29 record isn't supposed to be Yankees baseball, either. When you add together all of A-Rod's questionable plays, though -- the hard slide into Dustin Pedroia last week and the famous slapping of Bronson Arroyo's glove a few years back immediately come to mind -- it seems Mr Rodriguez has a little problem with sportsmanship and class. It's a shocker, I tell you. Really it is.
